Of course, that includes proper training, listening to your body, and no previous health conditions . . . I think that the latter is the biggest problem when it comes to dying marathoners. However, for every marathoner who kicks the bucket at the finish line, there are thousands more who see benefits from running the thing. You just have to go about doing it the right way.

Exactly; there are a million things you're supposed to do, from pacing yourself to hydrating yourself properly. A whole lot of people run multiple marathons in a year and are perfectly fine.
